Using
London Underground is a convenient way of getting around quickly but can be expensive. If you intend to use the underground for more than one day it may benefit you to purchase an ’Oyster Card’ which you can ‘top up’ as you need. For more information on available discounts and for downloadable versions of underground maps visit: www.tfl.gov.uk

A more fun and cost effective way to see London is by using the
Thames Clipper service. Boats run frequently and stop off at a number of useful points along the river Thames allowing you to hop on and off when it suits you and to see a number of London’s landmarks from a different perspective. www.thamesclippers.com

TKTS ticket booth situated in Leicester Square is a good way to buy last minute theatre tickets for many of the West End’s top shows. There is a wide variety of London shows to choose from every day.
